Well, rather than do what Mima has done and create an informative and useful map, I decided to just make up a grid and try to jam as many of the pieces we have into it as a kind of a jigsaw, without attempting to align them properly or anything like that.

In doing so, I noted a pattern emerging which should help anyone trying to connect the map pieces. The pieces seem to connect numerically in sets of four, and then going down columns in each colour from right to left. I have attached an image with a table of what I believe will be the final configuration of the map by card number, and also an image showing how the map pieces fit that configuration.

Notes -

I have not included Red or Orange cards in this because we are yet to see any with map pieces on the back. It is possible that these pieces all have instruction cards on the back, though if this is the case we will be missing a part of the Mobius Strip from the assembled map.

There is also at least one card that does not fit numerically (#74), but because this was part of the 333 set it may have been released with a different map piece on the back, since by my reasoning card #74 would be completely water.

Edit - replaced spreadsheet with image

Thank you - I will get to work on these now.

I just checked, and the map piece for 171 I posted is definitely for 171 and not 172. Not quite sure what that means.

Port Newguard Port Newguard occupies a stretch of the River Mazy directly west of the Mobius Strip and is home to a small lake used for fishing. Visitors often enjoy watching the races from the boathouses owned by the University and Marmalejo College, and the Newguard seven Bridges offer a pleasant site for picnics.

so Mima- it's directly west of the Mobius Strip!

Please can everyone make sure that map pieces have card numbers with them, it is how they are being tracked, should prevent confusion. Thanks to everyone for putting the backs up - have you had a look at the end result??

Thanks
